I recently updated R and some packages and ran into a problem when trying to run GEOquery to download a dataset. When grabbing the expression set from the dataset, I noticed that the sample names were no longer the column names, but that expression values were now the column names, almost as if the first row was taken from the dataset and used as the header. Is this a bug with GEOquery, Biobase, or NCBI's database? Any solutions?
